The McNair Library / Media Center is completely automated. Patrons have access to the library's OPAC (the catalog of books and materials) through a pod of twelve computers or in their classrooms. Our library program features an open checkout period each morning, as well as a weekly book exchange and an instructional period for library and research skills. Instructional lessons include literature skills, Dewey Decimal skills OPAC skills, or a research lesson. Rumor has it that even games or jumping rope happen from time to time in the Media Center.
